I have to wear a shirt, tie, and dress slacks to work every day. You should have seen me and my best friend (best man) going to my wedding. 2 guys in tuxedos rolling in an evo.

I wear a suit everyday to work. (I work for Bank). I don't think it makes a difference. The ladies look at me either way! And, I don't think it's because of my car.

i drive me evo to work all the time with dress close on, well not exactly a suit, but dress pants and shirt, cause girls dont wear ties usually for work :-P so its as close as a suit can be for me. Well my reaction from most people is "did you get to drive your boyfriend's car to work?" so I respond. "Uh, no, this is my car, Im going to work right now so i can pay for it" haha, people are funny :-P

who cares, if people look it will most likely be because of how the car looks or sounds... not that you're wearing a suit

Im 22, i wear a suit to work, i look like im 17 since i still have my spikey hair, get carded when i get cigs, get looks all day long, i feel kinda uncomfortable since they all think im living off daddy when i do it all on my own. it's kinda annoying, but its nice when you meet a fellow car enthusiast.

I think the same thing exactly, but I think its good cause I could have a 3 series or something and that would just be typical/standard expectation. I think its a good twist, makes people think differently, or inquire more.
Plus in sales I cant have too pimp of a ride, otherwise clients think they are paying for your ride

I'm in my military camo every morning heading to work. One of the fighter pilots i know drives a stinkin mini van and pulled up next to him on the way in the main gate. Told him i'm not smart enough to be an officer so this is my way of flying! I don't think he knew what my car was but probably assumed i said that because of the wing on the back. He gave me a thumbs up and putted away. HAHA

^ Same for me. I do alot of work at clients homes, i always get the "what is that?"

I'm like, just a Mitsubishi Lancer.

It's great though because i'm not showing up in a lexus or SUV on 24's like everyone else in the mortgage business.

In addition, I have been pulled over 3 times in the Evo. Two of those times, I was in my suit and one time I was in shorts and sandals. In none of those instances did I receive a citation. I think age plays a role in not getting a ticket too. (i'm 32)

Same job same situation but I do get the challenges though I never waste my gas answering them. Never been pulled over yet, I drive normal unless I'm on a track.
